Modify the configuration of existing
WS-Notification service points
to require use of SOAP over HTTPS instead of SOAP over HTTP as the
binding
for inbound requests from notification providers.
Before you begin
This task assumes that you have
an existing WS-Notification service
and service points, and that you are using the SOAP over HTTP binding
for
inbound requests.
About this task
By default the SOAP over HTTP
endpoints used by service points
accept both HTTP and HTTPS requests. HTTPS can be used by changing
the endpoint
URL prefix to https:// on each WS-Notification service
point
for the service, and modifying the port to the HTTPS port used by
the server
(default of 9443).
For Version 7.0 WS-Notification services, enterprise applications are used to expose the web services associated with the WS-Notification service. For
Version 6.1 WS-Notification services, service integration endpoint
listeners
are used.
Procedure
-
Start the administrative
console.
-
Navigate to
or
,
then identify the WS-Notification service points for the WS-Notification
service
you want to secure.
-
Configure HTTPS access
individually on each of the WS-Notification
service points by repeating the following sub-steps:
For
Version
7.0 WS-Notification services:
-
In the content pane, click the name of a Version 7.0 WS-Notification service point in the list.
- Navigate
to the associated enterprise application by clicking [Additional
Properties] Service point application
.
The enterprise application settings panel is displayed.
Note: You can
also
reach this panel by clicking
.
- In the enterprise application settings panel, click [Web
Services
Properties] Provide HTTP endpoint URL information.
- Specify
the endpoint URL prefix (that is the protocol (HTTPS), host name,
and port number) to use in the endpoint URL. You can select the default
HTTPS
prefix (https://your_host_name:9443)
from
a predefined list, or you can create and use your own custom HTTPS
prefix.
